North Shore Railroad Makes Trucks Easier To Use On Rail
Seeking to meet truck motor transport rivalry, the North Shore Line railroad inaugurates a novel and unique system for freight movement that insures rapid delivery without delays or hazards. Loaded motor trucks carrying minimum loads of 15,000 pounds, are driven on to railroad flat-cars and shipped, by rail, to points as far distant as Racine, Wisconsin. Merchants and manufacturers get the benefits of the method that provides a means for truck delivery right to the consignee’s door, without risking traffic tangles, or engine trouble on long hauls. A new day for railways looms with the acceptance of the new system that may herald dividends for worried stockholders.
1932 Boston Marathon
Setting a terrific pace for the 26-mile Boston Marathon course, and just missing the record by a half minute, Paul De Bruyn , German-American star, romps home to a sterling victory in the 36th running of the Patriot’s Day marathon (Boston Marathon) in Boston Massachusetts. With machine-like strides the German toe ace wears out a field of 220 of the country’s best distance runners. Trudging shoulder to shoulder over the last six miles with James P. Jimmy Henigan, last year’s winner, De Bruyn lets go with a powerful spurt that wilts the 40-year old titleholder in sight of the finish line. Strong and capable at the end of the long grind, the winner is clocked in the marvelous time of 2:33:2.5 and his victory earns him a place on Germany’s team at the Olympic Games this Summer.

A last minute threat of an embargo by innkeepers to combat price inflation is adjusted and fresh stocks of imported spirits are offered to the public. The bootleggers, king of the rum trade since 1919, dry up and take their place in the republic’s history.
